Making good progress with @blueprincegame.bsky.social . Hit a wall a couple of weeks ago and took a step back but back in the groove again and unlocked some chunky stuff. As ever, two steps forward and one step back but such a deep game!

I'm way behind the curve here, but I'm slowly working through the #AssassinsCreed games. Was expecting a jolt going from Syndicate to the reboot of Origins, but actually having a blast!
Loved going round London (as a Londoner) but great to have a whole new era to explore

Lambeth (and the rest of London) has activated SWEP, an emergency protocol offering anyone homeless temporary accommodation, regardless of priority, local connection or nationality. They should contact their council to access help. #homeless

Making great progress on my #Starfield mod that puts POIs on cooldown after you visit them, so you dont see two the same in rapid succession. Getting the gameplay options working in game was very satisfying!
Rough and ready version has been out for a while
